There are some grain-free foods that utilize peas instead of sweet potatoes, so looking at some grain-free products in your local pet store may help you find a product that works if Chevy can't handle it. A food trial with your vet where you eliminate everything, and then slowly work back up to it can also help see if there is a particular food causing Chevy's skin problems. In a lot of cases, the allergy is to a protein source, and not a grain or carbohydrate, so trying out some novel proteins such as turkey, venison, duck, etc may also help if the issue is food-related.
